Sameer was shocked for a second.....but came out of his thoughts immediately as he might miss her again....

On the other hand....after spending a great day with Naina, Preeti decided to take her out for shopping....as it's been really long....since she last stepped out of the house......Preeti was well aware of the fact that Naina isn't allowed to go out of the house.....even last time when she went out, it was raining heavily and when Preeti was finally be able to reach Naina...she found her really scared and shivering like a dry leaf....and upon asking as to what happened, Naina didn't say anything and shrugged it off saying that she got scared when Preeti didn't come on the given time......

Brining Naina to the mall was a great task for Preeti..she wasn't ready to go out under any circumstances....but Preeti played her emotional blackmail card, and here they were in the most expensive mall of the city.......

Here only, Pandit got a cue that Naina was here...though he didn't know her name or anything.....he was here with Munna who came to meet Swati, and also Pandit was here to meet someone...but while waiting for that person, Pandit spotted Naina and ran to inform Munna.....and then leaving everything aside, they left to call Sameer and told their men to not let her exit the mall at any cost.......and if she does, they've to follow her......

By the time Sameer reached there, Naina and Preeti had come out of the movie.....it was almost 6 in the evening.....Preeti seemed a bit restless....all through the movie, she had been checking her phone time and again...as if waiting for someone and Naina had been observing this......

Naina: Preeti kya hua?

Preeti: K...kise?

Naina: Tujhe aur kise? Kb se dekh re hain hum tumhara dhyaan pata nii kahan h.....baar baar phone ko dekh rii ho...

Preeti: Ni...nii to....bas aise hi.....

Naina: Jhooth mt bolo......

Preeti: Are meri maa nii bol rii jhoot, chl chhod.....aa jaa Westside aur Gucci chlte hain.....

Saying this Preeti dragged Naina to various stores....and here Sameer was searching for her everywhere like a maniac.....he took the elevator to got to another floor.....after searching this one thoroughly....whereas Naina came downwards to this floor using escalator......they had many such hit and miss cases......where they were about to come face to face, but missed it by a few seconds......Pandit even checked with his men, but got to know, that she's still there inside the mall......and haven't exited yet.....

With every passing second, Sameer was getting more and more anxious.....he was dressed in a white printed T-shirt and charcoal grey blazer with matching pants.....all the girls around him were ogling over him shamelessly......but he was here to search for his Dreamgirl......but god knows where she was......he didn't wanted to loose her again......

He was running here and there like a lunatic, just then his eyes landed on a girl who was looking at the mirror in front of her and checking on a top by keeping it in front of her......Sameer finally breathed in relief....that's when he realised that he was holding on to his breadth since the time he's entered the mall.....it felt like he's found his soul......he experienced the kind of peace which the earth witnesses with the first rainfall after long months of scorching heat......

He again started walking in her direction as if hypnotized.....and entered inside the store right behind her......and found her entering inside the trial room with a dress.....and he too went behind her...but before he could call or talk with her, she was already inside the changing room and had closed the door.....Sameer decided to wait for her outside.....so not to loose her again......

Here Naina had entered inside the trial room holding a dress in her hands.....it was a lehenga in dark pink color....she didn't wanted to buy it for any purpose, but Preeti liked it at first glance itself and forced Naina to try it on.....and reluctantly Naina agreed......but the hooks of the blouse were at the back and she couldn't reach them and also the long strings at the back were a task for her to tie....she's been trying for past 10 minutes, but couldn't get through the task.....hence she decided to call Preeti and take her help.....Naina without turning....opened the door and called out for Preeti....and since the mirror was also on the door, she couldn't see if it was Preeti or someone else.....

Naina: Preeti...Sunna ye hook nii lg re please laga de naa....Aur ye dori b nii bandh rii....tu b naa Pata nii kya kya pehnne bolti hai...jaise aaj hi humaari shaadi ho rii h......

Saying this, Naina moved her hair to one side....and pulled it on the front and kept blabbering thinking it to be Preeti....and there stood Sameer.....he was shocked to see his dream girl, so close to himself. He was yet again mesmerised seeing her.....her milky white skin, her almost bare back.....she was dressed in a bridal outfit.....it was like a dream come true.....he'd never imagined, that he would find her dressed like a bride, his bride......even though her face was turned that side, he knew that she looked flawless.....her milky white skin was glowing against the dark pink fabric of her lehenga........

He moved forward and taking his hands ahead, he was about to put the hooks together but before that his hands brushed against her almost bare back and on feeling an unknown touch, Naina got scared. She turned around in a sudden motion and was shocked to see the same stranger, she saw few weeks ago and only after that incident she was so scared to even step out of her palace again.....and here he is......

Sameer could see the fear and terror in his eyes, but somewhat he was liking it. Though he wanted to hide her in his embrace from everyone, but the fear from him was kind of satisfying for him......before she could move out or call for someone, he pushed her inside the trial room completely and kept his huge palm on her mouth, closing the door behind him and with the other hand he was holding her from her waist tightly......if earlier she was scared, so now she was aghast.....she wriggled in his tight hold, but she was too weak or too fragile to come out if his hold......he was huge in front of her petite figure.......her eyes welled up seeing her futile attempts.......Sameer gently moved his hands from her waist and wiped away her tears....and pulled her towards himself and she landed onto his hard chest.....

Here, Preeti was running here and there to find Naina.....but she was unable to find her.....she got worried, and was the verge of loosing her patience.....she was gone to find a perfect dress for her special evening....but now everything turned into a chaos......she was just gone for a minute, and when she returned, Naina was nowhere to be found. She looked around the entire store, but couldn't find her......she thought of going and checking the trial rooms as well.....but out of all, only three were occupied....she had already checked two of them, but only got disappointment in return.....she went and knocked on the last occupied door, but no one answered......again she went out to search for her best friend.....

Here, inside the trial room....Naina was anxious to come out and she got a breadth of relief, when she heard Preeti's voice.......she tried hard to shout or call her, but Sameer didn't give her a chance....and seeing his cold orbs, which looked like they were holding a storm within themselves.....were scaring her to the core......but at one point, even she was lost in his eyes.....there were a lot of emotions....which she couldn't decipher, but another knock on the door, pulled her out of the trance......

She was scared of a Stranger......and he was looking at his Dreamgirl, who was Known to him, but still unknown.......
